What is a TD Bank Paper Statement Fee?
TD bank strongly promotes its online and mobile banking. As such, the company highly encourages electronic rather than paper statements. And they assess a fee for paper statements to encourage people to utilize electronic methods.

Paper statement | $1 per cycle |
Paper statement with check images | $2 per cycle |
Statements with check copies or deposit reconstruction only | $5 per statement |
Deposit reconstruction only | $5 per statement |
Statement with deposit reconstruction and check copies | $25 per statement |
Why Does TD Bank Charge a Fee for Paper Statements?
It's expensive to print and mail paper statements. The cost of mailing a statement can be anywhere from $0.55 to $1.07 each. That doesn't include the price of paper, printer ink, and envelopes either. Nor does it account for the labor required to print and mail paper statements.
